10 January 2007, 17:04 GMT

US forces say they have carried out no fresh air strikes in southern Somalia against Islamist fighters since Monday.
Residents in Afmadow town, north of Kismayo, have described two attacks, whilst another was reported by Somalis in the coastal area of Ras Kamboni.

Reports suggest Ethiopian MiG fighters and helicopter gunships seen in the city of Kismayo may be involved.

There has been considerable criticism of the US after its first overt military action in Somalia since 1994.
